    Hi !
    I need to recover my bios!!!

    I have find a lot in this topic at this forum, but not enough for succeed.

    Copy from the service manual:
    To perform crisis recovery using keyboard, do the following:
    Power off the system.
    Plug-in the USB floppy drive with crisis floppy diskette inserted.
    Hold down Fn + B keys.
    Plug-in AC adapter and make sure it is powered.
    Power on the system from off state (i.e. cold boot) while holding down <Fn+B> key.
    After POST, release <Fn+B> key.
    The system should boot from floppy and perform crisis recovery action.

    My question is how to get or make a crisis floppy diskette?

    Are there somebody who had do this proceeding with succeed ?

    Is it enough to have a floppy and copy the file JFT0105A.FD on it ?

    Is is possible to use USB-stick or CD?

    Thanks a lot for solution!!

    As far as I know, you really need a floppy disk - but I never did that myself, so I can only repeat what I (think I) read.

    Sorry that I can#t be more specific ...

    Good luck!
